Re: I never met an outboard I didn’t like until now – 1960’s 40Hp Evinrude

Thanks for the tips. I have brought many engines to life and really am stumped as the usual stuff isn’t working. Swapping to a second set of new plugs is easy. Just remember this engine just ran great twice in the barrel.

I tip I read that I did not check for is if the exhaust got clogged from critters nests. Could be the short run shook them loose. I would have expected still to hear a muffled pop but something I did not check for.

Keep those cards and letters coming until I figger’ this thing out.
